Condolences

My dad and I were friends with your dad. He was a very nice gentleman. We used to sit and talk about horses, when we were at the clinic together. I really enjoyed my conversations with him. We would run into each other on several different occasions over the years. He was such a nice person. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Thank you so much for including me in the celebration of life for Uncle Floyd. He was a great person with a fabulous sense of humor (which he tested on me when I was lucky enough to spend time with him). He will be greatly missed by Dave and me.

Blessings to all that knew him. Thank you again.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. I worked at Crenlo for 14 years in accounting, Floyd was always happy to help me if I needed help with any problem concerning production or shipping a product!

He was a gentle most respected man! He will be missed. God bless you and your family.

Dear Routledge Family,

My sincere condolences to all of you. "Cowboy" Floyd was blessed to have such a dedicated family. I was volunteering at Rochester East when they sang Happy Birthday to him earlier this month -- he was all smiles! Thanks too for the many thoughtful things you did that benefited other residents at the nursing home over the years.
